The Overview: Terminator 2

Overthinking It presents “The Overview," an alternative commentary where writers from the site watch and discuss their favorite movies in real time.

There have been some flashy entries in the Terminator franchise lately, but the one movie we really care about is Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Nearly a quarter century after its release in 1991, it's still one of the greatest action movies ever made, and its thought-provoking treatments of technology, family, and free will are just as relevant now as they were then.

We love this movie deeply, and we're very excited to share our experience of watching it with you in the form of this commentary track. In this Overview, Mark Lee, John Perich, and Pete Fenzel discuss everything from the movie's Biblical influences to the morality of shooting a guy in the kneecaps in order to prevent the apocalypse ("HE'LL LIVE").
